Emiliano was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in March. The surgeon at La Plata University Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for June. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,950 short. my brother has been in and out of La Plata University Hospital since March. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without knee replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Emiliano struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Emiliano won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $850 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $670 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $165 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 Every share and every dollar helps. - Julián
